Solar power company reaches "grid parity" with dirty coal

The holy grail of all renewable is to reach grid parity � the point at which buying green power is no more expensive (or even cheaper) than buying power from, say, a coal burning plant. And it seems that one solar power plant in a desert in Nevada � built by First Solar � has reached that momentous mark. At least according to one analyst named Mark Bachman.
